yo man you've come so far from random fiverr dude to renowned tap bassist, absolute champ

I like that charles is just walking between them instead of on a podium somewhere, makes the whole atmosphere very friendly.

I love that drummers can be so in time that the only real way to tell that there's 200 playing at the same time and not just stadium reverb is the different sizzle characteristics of everyone's crash cymbols. What an awesome experience

Cant wait for 200 slap basses with 1 drummer

[marbzirc]

This is a perfect example of going all out, without getting annoyingly excessive. Just right. PERFECT! Your musicality is just on an entirely different level. This is literally the best bass solo I've ever heard. I could listen to this 24/7.

The most amazing part of this video is his ability to find 500 drummers that showed up on time

I feel so proud that Charles’ incredible skills are finally being recognized by the world

[miojamo]

1:16 that almost turned very Tolkien! love it

[Gangstnate]

Charles is the definition of "saw his chance, and took it"

[lpi]

Charles has become so influential that he now has his own opera

[JonesyJulien]

This is why the rhythm is so fucking important in music. You cant have this type of synchronision without it. Drummers and bassists are the leaders of bands and you cant tell me otherwise

[drewpenn]

I love how every single one of those drummers is vibing out like they're laying down their favourite beat with nobody watching

[nwtngraphics]

from fiverr to a performance on a stadium... i can not describe how happy i am for you!

[erinsharing]

I hope you realize that you're one of the greatest bassists of all time; no matter what kind of mainstream success you achieve I'll always be happy to know I got to live during your time and see your talent and grace

[obscurity]

Charles, you are honestly the best bass player I’ve ever heard. There isn’t anyone more deserving of slapping that thing in the middle of a giant sports arena than you.

Love seeing the comradery amongst musicians. No matter the instrument, playing style, or anything else. We all love it just the same.

[Princeton_James]

Not only was that played flawlessly, the song itself was amazing. 10/10. Excellent job. Looks like a cool experience.

[RCSmiths]

That's amazing Charles. Simply majestic! The Rockin' 1000 is such an awesome time for music, and the uniting of musicians. Cheers!

[jasonhedlund]

Thank you Charles. I never noticed this button before. Just want to show my appreciation!

You are my go to YouTuber when I need a lift to the spirits or energy...your talent and funkiness are second (maybe even third) level. Very much appreciate your art and looking forward to hearing (and learning) more from you. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with everyone. Enjoy the day!

I played with Rockin' 1000 in Florence in 2018. It was insane, but that's on another level! Congrats man!
